Fear the Flames: A Novel

by Olivia Rose Darling Narrated by Not Yet Available

Overview

An exiled princess teams up with the last man she thought she could trust in the start of a dazzling and unforgettable epic fantasy romance series.

As a child, Elowen Atarah was ripped away from her dragons and imprisoned by her father, King Garrick of Imirath. Years later, Elowen is now a woman determined to free her dragons. Having established a secret kingdom of her own called Aestilian, she's ready to do what's necessary to save her people and seek vengeance. Even if that means having to align herself with the Commander of Vareveth, Cayden Veles, the most feared and dangerous man in all the kingdoms of Ravaryn.

Cayden is ruthless, lethal, and secretive, promising to help Elowen if she will stand with him and all of Vareveth in the pending war against Imirath. Despite their contrasting motives, Elowen can't ignore their undeniable attraction as they combine their efforts and plot to infiltrate the impenetrable castle of Imirath to steal back her dragons and seek revenge on their common enemy.

As the world tries to keep them apart, the pull between Elowen and Cayden becomes impossible to resist. Working together with their crew over clandestine schemes, the threat of war looms, making the imminent heist to free her dragons their most dangerous adventure yet. But for Elowen, her vengeance is a promise signed in blood, and she'll stop at nothing to see that promise through.

An immersive fantasy filled with a sizzling reluctant-allies-to-lovers romance, a world to get lost in, dangerous quests, dragon bonds, and an entertaining band of characters to root for, Fear the Flames marks the stunning debut of Olivia Rose Darling.

DEBUT Princess Elowen was blessed with the love and bond of five dragons but was cursed to leave them behind after her father imprisoned and tortured them all. But she was a child then, and now adult Queen Elowen has a mission. She has a duty to find allies to help her feed the people of her hidden kingdom. She also needs to get her dragons back, but above all, she must get revenge on her father, the king who stole her childhood and her birthright. She'll bathe in the blood of her foes, fight betrayal at every turn, and do her damndest to protect herself from the enemy who her heart desperately desires to claim as its own. The political machinations are practically Machiavellian, the blood and guts are frequently hip-deep, and the enemies-to-lovers romance is as hot as dragon fire. VERDICT Originally self-published and now receiving a special edition with additional content from a big publisher, this debut novel and Book Tok sensation is highly recommended for romantasy lovers, especially fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas and The Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros.—Marlene Harris
